1. A method of resource monitoring in a large distributed computing environment, wherein a given master resource comprises a set of given computing resources, comprising the steps of:

  • (a) associating a set of cells with a set of given computing resources that comprise the master resource, each cell associated with a respective one of the set of given computing resources and having a set of one or more attributes whose values collectively define a state of the cell;

    (b) upon change of a given attribute of a given cell that effects a change in cell state, propagating the attribute change across each cell directly impacted by the cell state change; and

    (c) propagating resulting cell state changes across any affected cells.
